[Powertech Pyrotech 858k Void Star 1.2]

Use ACT, has a swtor plugin. I record every wz match and it graphs out the dmg types nicely.

[The problems with Pyro post 1.2]

Everyone is squishy due to the increased expertise and reduced endurance on some gear.

 

I have noticed it proccing when it doesn't need to which is pretty lame but other than that I haven't had any issues with pyro.

Yeah I haven't noticed any deviation in my pyro build's dps. I am really interested to see some hard numbers from an AP build. Might run a couple different specs with ACT now that we can parse the damage log.

 

Thanks for all the useful info.

[Questions about 0/17/24 or 2/17/22]

Not a fan of imp quell?

 

I'm playing 2/12/27 right now and find having quell less two seconds in cooldown almost indispensable. Adds significant killing power.

 

I used to feel the same, but switched to a 8/8/25 build awhile back and have to say I really don't notice it. Sure there have been a few times where quell had about 2s left and I could have used it but we have other things at our disposal and the points being spent to get that improved quell is not worth it at all currently. I have never lost a fight or not killed someone because of not having quell.

 

Maybe in 1.2 it will be a good option since ap will be a semi-good tree (still skeptical and havent tried the changes myself)

 

To the OP: The 9% aim increase in the shield tech tree along with all the other damage boosters are a way better option if you plan on doing any dps.

[Pyrotech Accuracy]

Missing a rail shot in 1.2 will hurt but not too much, the change is a lot less significant than people are making out.

 

 

I am far from the best but I do pretty well. I run a similar build(probably posted by someone before so i doubt its remotely new) but 8/8/25 I use FB far too much and the 6% damage increase is actually quite nice. I also really like the 8/6/27 builds, messed around with a variation but 8/8/25 really suites my playstyle. Also tried ditching Rapid Venting because I dont really have heat issues and taking the Infrared Sensors because a good OP can double stun you and drop you to 40% before you join the fight. But if you get that first shot its game over. Spent the last two days try different tweaks to my build and what I have now seems to work out the best for me. Solo queuing I shift a few points around.

 

I have like 110% maybe a tad more tech accuracy and maybe 103ish ranged. Not that high and I rarely miss a rail shot, the target usually has to have popped some cd for it to not land.

 

Big trade off is my lack of crit and surge. I don't have any BM gear, but I'll probably replace the mods for more crit and try and find a middle ground. I think a solid 100 or even 99ish would be sufficient.

[Pyrotech Accuracy]

I feel like between 98-100% is good, but it really all depends on your spec (link?)

 

Im in the opposite boat, haven't replaced mods yet and while a lot of accuracy makes railshot nice on everything, I really want my crit back. The itemization in this game is questionable.

fix interrupt.

[Official Q&A Thread for February 10th, 2012 Q&A Blog Post]

Regarding ranked Warzones, will match-ups be from a team rating/ranking or will they be based on the current group member's Valor Rank?

 

 

 

Keep up the great work!
